I'm sure there must be. Dinosaur fossils are big and heavy and after you pilfer the best ones back to your favourite museum (a tradition traced back to Andrew Carnegie and the Cope and Marsh expeditions), you don't have much choice apart from leaving the rest where you found them. I know Paul Sereno is trying to get the government of Niger to build a dinosaur museum there to house all their fossils; I'm not sure it's the top item on their agenda.

Of course cactus never existed in the time of the dinosaurs, but it is a good way of keeping children out of exhibits.

Someone should tell him about the jihad.
